Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

As the saying goes, there is an emperor and courtiers, an era and a melody. The international situation is also ups and downs and constantly changing.

In the 21st century, the prospering China is indeed very attractive, and the Chinese nationality at that time was also quite attractive, but in the 1980s, the situation was different.

In China in the 1980s, it was really poor, a poverty that those born in the 1990s could not imagine.

At that time, due to the low GDP and per capita disposable income, coupled with underdeveloped infrastructure, institutional factors, international environment and other reasons, even though the domestic population was large, in fact, the domestic population was

The consumer market is not big, or it has not been developed yet.

In this regard, just look at India in later generations.

In India at the beginning of the 21st century, both total GDP and per capita GDP were much higher than those in the country in the 1980s. However, everyone can see the nature of Indian society and its consumption level.

By the way, in 1983, although India's total domestic GDP lagged behind that of the country, it was not much different from that of the country. As for the per capita GDP, the Indians' GDP was higher than that of the country now.

In other words, in terms of the consumer market, India at this time is not much different from China.

Even if India is incomparable with other domestic conditions, such as literacy rate, wealth gap, military strength, etc., in China in the 1980s, no matter how good you were in all aspects, the economic figures would not lie.

The domestic GDP in 1983 was only US$230 billion, accounting for only 1.9% of the world economy.

With such a small amount of money, how much can you earn in China? What’s more, the policies are not good and too conservative.

Although the domestic reform and opening up began in 1978, it was only after 1992 that it really began to rise.

Before that, the country's reform path was actually faltering, and national income had been in a long-term slump.

Therefore, staying in China at this time and making the same amount of money as the domestic people really doesn't make much sense. The real money is made overseas, especially in developed countries.

To put it bluntly, even in the 1980s, you were really awesome if you could earn foreign exchange.

But if you want to earn foreign exchange, you won't have the advantage of being in Hong Kong at this time in China.

After all, Hong Kong is a free port, and relying on mainland China, it is a proper mainland window to the outside world before the country enters the WTO.

The reason is very simple. The country is currently limited by the international situation. Even in the honeymoon period between China and the United States, if you want to export goods directly from the mainland to countries in the free world, you will still be charged high tariffs.

But because Xiangjiang is a free port, if your goods go to Xiangjiang first and then transit through Xiangjiang, although it is a little troublesome, you can pay a lot less tax.

Moreover, the living standard in Xiangjiang at this time was much higher than that in China, and all kinds of enjoyment were by the standards of developed countries, which was very suitable for people like Cao Zhiqiang who were accustomed to modern life.

Frankly speaking, in China at this time, even if you are rich, it is difficult for you to enjoy high standards. After all, China still pays attention to influence and status.

But it's different in Xiangjiang. If you have money, you are a boss, which is more suitable for a time traveler like Cao Zhiqiang who likes to enjoy life.

What's more, at this time in China, there was a family planning policy that Cao Zhiqiang considered very inhumane and very harsh.

If Cao Zhiqiang stayed in China at this time, he could theoretically only have one child.

It's not impossible to have more rebirths, you have to pay more money. Even if paying more money is not a problem for him, the problem is that rebirth has a bad reputation, which has an impact on all aspects.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has long been interested in going to Xiangjiang for development. At the very least, he can freely have more children there, and no one will laugh at or despise having a mistress. On the contrary, it will make people envious.

If you can pretend to be a Hong Kong citizen, or have a reliable partner in Hong Kong, and then travel to both sides of the country, you can take advantage of both companies.

When the time comes, I will be living alone in Xiangjiang, while my wife and children will be living in China. Isn’t that just not letting both of them go?

Don't talk about social security, and what to do when the country rises in the later period.

Those problems are only considered by people who have no money.

For truly wealthy people, nationality has never been an issue.

What's more, the people of Xiangjiang are also Chinese.

Moreover, if you go to Hong Kong to develop and obtain permanent residence, you don’t have to give up your nationality.

If you look at the 1980s and 1990s, or later in the 21st century, when did the Hong Kong people who have lived in China for a long time have any obstacles?

It’s not just about doing whatever you’re supposed to do, you’ll have to pay for social security.

Anyone from Hong Kong can be a member of the Communist Party of China in the Mainland!

Of course, the above is a long-term consideration.

If you think about it nearby, it is Cao Zhiqiang who has taken a fancy to the entertainment industry in Hong Kong at this time.

The things that Cao Zhiqiang is currently signed up for are actually the most valuable, or the ones that make money the fastest and are the most cost-effective, are content related to entertainment, such as novels and songs.

This is why Cao Zhiqiang deliberately planned to control a publishing house in China.

He just wants to seize the distribution rights of entertainment products first and then develop content, not the other way around.

Otherwise, if Cao Zhiqiang rashly creates content in China first, that is, writes songs and becomes a singer, or writes articles and becomes a writer, he will actually not make much money, and he will sell resources at a low price.

If nothing else, there is no "Copyright Law" in the strict sense in China at this time, which makes it very difficult for Cao Zhiqiang.

This means that once Cao Zhiqiang directly produces content in China, such as writing songs directly, it is easy for the distribution department to take the majority of the profit, and he will make a small profit at most.

It's even possible that after he writes a good work and someone else publishes it, you no longer even own the copyright, it belongs to someone else's publishing house.

Don't doubt the pain of those publishing houses at this time, it is even uglier than the pain of someone in later generations.

Not to mention, there was no professional copyright law in China at this time, so the works he wrote were not protected by law and could easily be pirated, circulated, and taken away at will.

It’s just domestic piracy, at least he can still write his name on it.

I'm afraid that Hong Kong and Taiwan singers and even overseas singers will directly steal his songs and make other stars popular, but in turn deny him any benefits, or even register copyright abroad and directly steal his copyright. That would be a loss.

Big.

Especially at this time, most Hong Kong and Taiwan songwriters plagiarized other people's works, which was extremely crazy and without any shame.

For example, many famous Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs at this time were actually plagiarized from Japanese songs.

Otherwise, there would be no saying that Miyuki Nakajima has supported most of the Hong Kong music scene.

At present, plagiarism and piracy of this kind of music works are unsolvable, because in different countries and regions, you only need to slightly change the other party's music or the lyrics, and you will not be able to protect your rights.

Therefore, in this era, people tend to recognize people rather than songs. The most famous people are often singers, and song creators are often not taken seriously.

What kind of original work is it? It’s so cool to copy songs.

Take Miyuki Nakajima, for example. More than 70 of her songs have been covered by the Hong Kong music scene, and more than 100 songs have been covered. However, those cover songs have basically not obtained the copyright of the original author. They are all plagiarized without permission, and they basically all have copyrights.

question.

Because of the music copyright issues in this era, it is very difficult to protect rights across borders, so it is basically a matter of making whatever money you are in.

Generally speaking, unless a song is particularly popular and makes a lot of money, most song creators will not protect their rights across borders, because the cost is too high, the gains outweigh the losses, and it is easy to narrow the road and lose a foreign market.

It's better to go with the flow and approve other people's covers and don't make the matter a big deal. At least you can still earn a reputation as the original creator.

The reason why the Hong Kong music scene at this time plagiarized a lot of Japanese and Western songs was because it was difficult for different circles to communicate and protect their rights, so they plagiarized so blatantly.

Especially when it comes to music, if your song has the same melody but different lyrics, it will be very difficult to litigate to defend your rights in Hong Kong at this time.

At this time, the people in the Xiangjiang music scene even dared to blatantly copy songs from Japan and Western society without changing a single musical symbol, just changing the lyrics, let alone the mainland.

However, it is different when we have Lou Xiaoe, a native of Xiangjiang, as our partner.

If he can establish a good relationship with Lou Xiao'e and cooperate with each other, Cao Zhiqiang can first register the copyright of the songs and novels he writes in Xiangjiang, and then he can sing them again without fear of others covering them.

Because in this way, he has registered his copyright in Xiangjiang, so Xiangjiang's copyright law can protect him and safeguard his interests in the Xiangjiang music circle.

At this time, the Chinese music scene was basically dominated by Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, with Hong Kong and Taiwan being the most respected.

If you register a copyright in Xiangjiang, it will also be recognized by the Baodao area. Therefore, if you register a music copyright in Xiangjiang, you can basically guarantee your interests in the Chinese music scene.

As for other regions, such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, there is nothing you can do if someone plagiarizes.

But relatively speaking, at this time, Japan, South Korea and other places were still more shameless, and generally would not blatantly plagiarize a mainlander's song.

In other words, as long as he gets his work registered in Xiangjiang and registers the music copyright, then it will be fine if others sing it in the Chinese music scene. If the cover song becomes popular and he makes a lot of money, he will go to someone to ask for copyright fees.

If you tell the truth once and for all, you will gain both fame and fortune.

In addition, he can also go to Xiangjiang to open up the entertainment market through Lou Xiao'e. First, he can be a singer in Xiangjiang for a while, gain popularity and earn foreign exchange, and then return to domestic investment to start an export-to-domestic sales business.

This method is much more reliable and more profitable than directly producing records in China.

To extend it further, if Cao Zhiqiang does not want to be a singer or hang out in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, he has two big leaders as his backers at home and a Hong Kong businessman named Lou Xiaoe as his overseas partner. He has both internal and external relations, even if he is engaged in domestic and foreign trade.

, you can also make a lot of money.

And whether a big leader or Lou Xiao'e, they are all inseparable from one person - Silly Zhu!

So by this time, you can understand why Cao Zhiqiang is so good to Sha Zhu, it is because he saw the true value of Sha Zhu early on.

What is the true value of Silly Pillar?

Is it because Shazhu’s cooking skills are high?

Not really.

Silhouette is good at cooking and has many unique secret recipes, but there is no shortage of chefs in Beijing. There are many more awesome chefs than him in Beijing, let alone all over the country.

Since Shazhu’s cooking skills are just that and not unique, then what is the real value of Shazhu?

The answer is, Shazhu’s network of contacts!

When he came, he had connections with major leaders in the mainland.

Secondly, he has connections with overseas Hong Kong businessmen.

You see, Shazhu has connections both internally and externally, and his connections are very strong, and everyone is willing to help him with all their strength.

That is to say, Shazhu has no ambitions, no ideas, and is content with the status quo, which is why he lives so ordinary and confident.

Otherwise, if he had Xu Damao's brains and bad intentions, or Xu Damao's lively energy, relying on these internal and external relationships, he would have taken advantage of the situation and become a billionaire.

The bad guy named Mou Moumou, if he had Shazhu's connections, he wouldn't be so talented, but he was imprisoned.

In addition, regarding Xu Damao, Cao Zhiqiang believes that this is the real person in the courtyard besides himself, even if he is a bad person.

It was probably deleted and changed in the TV series, so that the bad guys would not be punished. Otherwise, according to Cao Zhiqiang's understanding, it is impossible for people like Xu Damao to have a miserable later life.

If nothing else, Cao Zhiqiang remembers that the final scene where Xu Damao was deceived into losing everything was quite vague. There was no specific explanation at all, and it went straight to the point where he was deceived and lost all his money. After that, he made the same mistakes again and again, but they were all wrong again.

Very model lake.

Think about it, Xu Damao had previously deceived Li Huaide, You Fengxia and others into running around, causing them to almost be arrested.

With his carefulness and cleverness, there is no reason why after he deceived Li Huaide, he still had no foresight and cooperated with others unsuspectingly, and was deceived out of his entire fortune.

Therefore, the aspect of Xu Damao having nothing and almost starving to death on the streets is very unreliable in terms of character. The later description of Xu Damao's miserable appearance is also very unscientific, unless God wants to accept him and force him to have bad luck.

You can make whatever you want on TV, after all, the screenwriter is a genius, but reality is different.

In reality, good people are often not rewarded, while bad people are happy.

Of course, this is a plot world, which is different from the real world, so just remember Xu Damao and avoid having to interact with him in the future.

Or, if there is a chance, it would be a good idea to use Xu Damao to trick someone who doesn't like him. After all, bad luck is contagious.

You see, some of the guys who work with Xu Damao are unlucky if they don’t follow suit, so this is a bad guy!

Having said that, there is no doubt about the value of He Yuzhu, but not many people can really recognize the goods, so he let himself be missed.

Now it seems that it was the wisest decision for me to lick the stupid pillar. Now, won't the benefits come with it?

Not to mention, other potential benefits.

So the next question is how to continue to think of ways to make use of Shazhu's relationship and turn his connections into our own. Only then will we be truly carefree.

The big boss has already started to get in touch with her, and they seem to be getting along well so far. Now it's up to Lou Xiao'e.

In this way, I just met the big leader today and got good news from the big leader, and then I met Lou Xiaoe again?

Oops, today is really my lucky day.

Stay steady and don’t wave. Whether you can take off in the future depends on today!

"Xiao Cao, Xiao Cao?"

Hearing these two calls, Cao Zhiqiang was startled and immediately woke up from his meditation.

When he looked up, he found Lou Xiao'e looking at him with a smile on his face.

"What, are you distracted?" Lou Xiao'e said with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Haha, yes, a bit, hahaha, I'm sorry, Aunt Lou. By the way, what did you just say?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and shook her head: "I was asking you just now, does Silly Zhu know that I'm here? Do you know that I'm here?"
